I like 4831sc with the heavies. I haven't tried the 156, I have a 147 load @ 2710 FPS with less than 100 rounds thru the barrel. I expect 2750 FPS or better once the barrel settles in.View attachment 147509 This is my first time shooting Berger bullets.
Shot the Berger 156gr. EOL Elite Hunter over a MAX load of RL-17, Remington 9 1/2 primer, FL resized Hornady brass in the Savage Model 11 Long Range Hunter, 6.5 Creedmoor, 24" rifled BBL, 1-8 twist.
Should give me about 2650-2700FPS.
I have not touched a screw on this rifle other than to mount the scope.
Tried IMR 7828, it did not perform as well.
Waiting to try RL-26 with this bullet.
